I believe they were used by Dockrys Bakery in Ballymote. They were moved when it was knocked to make way for a new Garda station.


Any ideas on the age of them?

There was also 5 door Morris Minor that was taken out and restored. I would think the Dodge could be restored with a lot of effort but the Thames is f**ked

Ir the Dodge reg is EI 5106( cant make it out very well) its 1949 Sligo.
And BEI692 is mid 1962 Sligo also.

I don't know for certain, as I didn't take them, but I the taker of the pics is from that neck of the woods. I suppose it's been there that long, it must be a local landmark

It's in Suncroft, co Kildare.

If you want to contact him it's best to post on the flickr imagine of the car that interests you.

Hello all,

Didn't want to start a new thread so putting this post in here. Found two old cars when clearing some land recently, in the same kind of condition as the ones pictured above. Completely rusted apart from a few plastic pieces.

Does anyone know what this badge is?


Cheers

Is it Maserati?

Possibly, I can see the similarity but googled old Maserati badges and emblems there and could not find one the same.

The badge in the picture could easily be upside down. The car is still under a lot of stuff so it is hard to make out it's shape. Other fella that was with me reckons it's a one seater but might just look that way as it is a small looking car. Hard to know

Sam Russell

The picture is of a trident, a three pointed spear, used by Neptune, God of the deep. Perhaps that might help.
